The Big Ticket on D
Date: January 27, 2013
One of Kevin Garnett’s strengths was his defense. When he retired, Garnett’s nine selections to the NBA All-Defensive First Team tied him with Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Gary Payton. Combined with his three selections to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team, Garnett’s total of 12 selections tied him with Kobe Bryant for second most in NBA history behind only Tim Duncan’s 15 combined selections. Here, Garnett defended Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat during a game in 2013.
